The Bullet of Significance: The Good Life, Part 2
A man’s quality of living is directly proportionate to his priorities. In the last analysis, how well you live is simply a question of priorities. We must face up to the fact that one can’t do everything. There are thousands of options open to all of us – things to be involved in, many of them good, many of them bad … civic work, politics, leisure, travel, hobbies, athletics, business, clubs, crime, self-indulgence, etc. The question is, which investment really gives life?
It is at this point that Jesus Christ steps in and says to all who will listen, “Follow Me, and I will give you the best seventy years you could possibly spend.” After all, it is not how many years you pack into your life that counts, but how much life you pack into your years! Jesus Christ is the world’s greatest expert on life. He takes the sweat out of living. Knowing that we Christians have eternal life and will live forever takes the panic out of trying to cram everything into seventy years! It we listen to Christ, He will give us a package deal for an adventurous and exciting existence. It will only happen if God is our first priority! It’s essential that a person be honest about priorities!
